HI all,
I have an Atwood GH6-8E 6gal Propane water heater with a build date of
12/2001. When I turn it on in the morning, sometimes it lights on the first
start. Sometimes it takes 5 or more starts for it to light. Sometimes after
it is lit, the fire will just go out. Sometimes that is right away,
sometimes it is 5-10 minutes after it is lit that the fire goes out. Seems
to be worse in cold weather. I suspect it is the thermocouple going bad
and thinking the fire went out so is shutting the propane off. Any ideas how
to diagnose this? Or do you recognize these symptoms and know what the
problem is. Getting tired of shaving with cold water...any help is welcome.
